Here is a PHS documented 69 Firebird 400 convertible, it was stored in a garage from 1982 - 2008, I am the third owner. It can't be called a survivor but very few reproduction parts were used in the restoration other than wear and tear parts like the weather strip, interior, top and suspension parts. The original 400 was bored .030 over and was rebuilt with a roller cam and rockers for performance and reliability (see dyno sheet). New aluminum radiator, runs cool even in AZ. It has the original rebuilt Quadrajet and original distributor converted to Pertonix. I have the original exhaust manifolds but Ram Air long branch manifolds are installed, dual stainless Magnaflow exhaust sounds awesome. The motor and trans have less then 500 miles on them, the car runs and drives very well. The car comes with the numbers matching Turbo 400 AT but was converted to a 4 speed using a rebuilt 1969 Pontiac Muncie M20 and an original 69 Hurst shifter and linkage. The sub frame and A Arms were powder coated and the entire suspension was rebuilt, I added a larger front sway bar for improved handling and it has new KYB gas shocks all around.
